Overlord in Cultivation Chapter 29: The Soul Cultivating Manual

Su Yan shook his head as he had no memory of Zu Yan nor Yin Yisi. All of his memories had gone since he opened the dragon coffin on Mount Qomolangma.

After a long silence, Tang Yi said slowly, “It was said that the dean left Frozen College with a group of top-notch overmatches to excavate an ancient relic, but returned with serious injuries.

Though having heard of this from Lin Wanlan, Su Yan had never thought his presence was somewhat related to the ancient relic. However, even Tang Yi had no idea what the ancient relic really was.

“I don’t know where are you from. The only thing I know was that you were bought here by the dean. She told me nothing and just asked me to keep an eye on you.” Tang Yi said, “Only she knows your antecedents.”

"Who is the Female Asura? What does she look like?" Su Yan asked.

Hearing this, Tang Yi shook his head, "Many people ask about the dean, but you are the first to ask about the Female Asura. However, I am sorry I cannot tell you."

Having expected to hear something from Tang Yi, but only to learn that the dean was still alive and could not come back in a short term for some reasons, Su Yan felt a sense of helplessness.

"Don't worry, the dean will come back sooner or later. Anyway, she takes much count of you." Tang Yi smiled, "Seeing your current achievements, I’m sure you will live up to the dean’s expectations and will be successful in the future.”

“Senior, I would also like to know something about the earth's variation.” Su Yan took a deep breath and said seriously, “I hope you don't mind telling me the truth. Where did the natural essence come from? What happened in the whole world?"

“About the natural essence, I can only tell you a big event which happened to Zu Yan before.”

Tang Yi said, "Everyone fears Zu Yan for his power and broad knowledge. Things I know about the past are limited. Some aristocratic families which rose after the doomsday should know that Huaxia Alliance had been in a turmoil and a lot of people died, which was relevant to the source of the natural essence. But no one dares to talk about it in public because it involves Zu Yan."

Su Yan speculated boldly: Could Mount Qomolangma be the source of natural essence?

“You’d better not to mention about this outside, especially in Huaxia College.” Tang Yi said, “Currently, the infighting between two major forces- the older generation and the younger generation- is fierce there. The older generation is comprised of the strong ones who established the Huaxia Alliance and made a great contribution, but some people consider that they should take a back seat!"

Tang Yi added freezingly, "And there is a special group named ‘Prime Faction’, which consists of a flock of teenagers like Tao Tianhua!"

Hearing this, Su Yan got a little confused, “Err… How can they compete with the upper-level? Are they supported by Zu Yan?”

“You’re quite smart. They are just a bunch of pretentious good-for-nothings without Zu Yan. Since you have provoked the two backbones of Prime Faction, you might have a rough time in the near future.”

Tang Yi said solemnly, “Though Zu Yan seldom shows up, his every sentence can affect the pattern of the Huaxia Alliance. Zu Yan seems to have no interest in power, but he is very fond of divine treasures in the world!"

"For instance!"

Tang Yi took out a book and laughed, "What's recorded here is amazing. It's the Soul-refining Manual- the secret method of refining soul! "

"Is this the bet we won?" Su Yan's eyes sparkled. The thing worthy of Tang Yi's bet was absolutely marvelous.

"Yes. The Soul-refining Manual is a secret technique that Zu Yan has mastered." Tang Yi sneered, "He is very tactful to only put the second part of the Soul-refining Manual in UCC for sale. However, it is difficult to start the cultivation without the opening. The opening, which is worth thirty Essence Stones, does offer a great help to my cultivation!"

"W…What? Thirty Essence Stones!" Su Yan was frightened. When he got one Essence Stone, Tao Tianhua spared no effort to rap and rend it. This opening was worth thirty Essence Stones!

"Essence Stone is of great importance!" Tang Yi said tardily, "It is the crystal of natural essence, and is of great help for breakthrough to Destiny Spring Realm. If you own an Essence Stone, your possibility of success in opening Destiny Spring can increase by thirty to forty percent!”

It was so amazing that Su Yan was wide-eyed and tongue-tied.

"Of course, this is of secondary importance. The energy contained in the Essence Stone is suitable for the cultivation in the Destiny Spring Realm and is also very suitable for the human body!" Tang Yi smiled, "The Essence Stone is of great help to the cultivation. But it is so rare, and even the quantity of unearthed ones from ancient ruins is so limited!"

Indifference filled Tang Yi’s eyes, and he said, "However, most of the Essence Stones in the world are now under Zu Yan’s control. In the past, people did not know what the Essence Stone was. Zu Yan paid a small price but took most of the Essence Stones!"

"His wealth is prodigious. We can say that he is the richest person in the world." Tang Yi sighed, "Because of the ignorance of those aristocratic families, many valuables have become Zu Yan’s possessions, and it is too late to repent now!”

Now that Zu Yan was so powerful that even overmatches like Tang Yi feared him, Su Yan had nothing to say!

Su Yan recorded the Soul-refining Manual which might be also of great help to him. The Essence Stone gave by Jing Yanghui was too small and even less than half of the one Su Yan once got.

Even so, this unexpected wealth still made Su Yan extremely happy.

After he left the Weapon Chamber, Su saw Lyu Anshan standing respectfully at the entrance.

Lyu was a little embarrassed about almost refusing Su Yan at the Entrance Examination.

Su Yan give him a dirty look. Lyu Anshan couldn't help but sigh and kept apologising to Su. No one could have imagined Su Yan should become the best student of the Frozen College!

"Brother Su Yan is coming!”

Around the Weapon Chamber were so many people, all of whom looked at him with new eyes since they were impressed by his outstanding performance yesterday. It had been said that Su Yan must have more than 600 horsepower!

Three students of the Frozen College entered the Huaxia College this time. They were Su Yan, Xiang Yang and Bai Mengying, who, beyond everyone’s expectation, became a core disciple directly and even Ji Qing’s student.

Although Xiang Yang was an ordinary disciple, the Frozen College became famous and was hopeful to be the No.1 among the colleges in the Base No.9 since three of its students were admitted to the Huaxia College!

“Su Yan!”

With a fine figure, Bai Mengying was joyful. She was impressed so much by Su Yan who won the first place in the Entrance Examination of the Awaken in the Base No.9!

Tang Yi also suggested Su Yan to enter the Huaxia College since he considered that although the Underground Chamber of Commerce (UCC) was wealthy, the Huaxia College was still better than it to some extent.

“Mengying.” Su Yan nodded, walked to her and smiled, “I didn’t expect that you are so capable. But you seemed hurried to choose a mentor so soon.”

Hearing that, Bai Mengying laughed, “You are better than me. Miss Ji is excellent. And she let me tell you to be careful in choosing your mentor!”

Su Yan frowned slightly, thinking that the farce yesterday could deter some teachers from guiding Su Yan in terms of cultivation since Tao Tianhua and Jing Yanghui were not ordinary.

After all, they were leaders of the Prime Faction!

Tang Yi told him to be patient on joining the Huaxia College. Tang Yi thought Su Yan had a big potential, therefore, Huaxia College would surely provide Su Yan with substantial benefits to win him over.

Now many teachers from advanced colleges had promised favourable treatment, although they knew that it was not possible for Su Yan to join these advanced colleges.

Although the UCC came here and the conditions they gave were very appealing, Su Yan didn’t agree immediately.

“You are very popular now.” Bai Mengying said, smiling, “There weren’t such a great number of people who showed their kindness to Jing Yanghui, and I believe you will be in the top ten by your score after the Entrance Examination.”

The Entrance Examination would be over in less than half a month!

With the admiring gaze of the students, Su Yan and Bai Mengying left together.

Jing Yanghui was resentful. Elders in his family blamed them harshly for his younger brother wetted his pants in the Martial Arts Competition, making a fool of himself. Luckily, he was in the Base No.9 instead of the Huaxia City. Otherwise, Jing Yanghui would be too embarrassed to enter the Huaxia College!

His follower reported that Su Yan was wandering around the school leisurely, which made Jing Yanghui more furious. He smashed the Phoebe zhennan desk heavily and growled, “Su Yan, I will not stop until I get my revenge on you!”

Su Yan said goodbye to Bai Mengying and went to the dormitory.

“How powerful could I become after practicing the Soul-refining Manual?”

Su Yan sat on the bed with his legs crossed, and could hardly wait to take out the Soul-refining Manual. He read it carefully and found that it was a cultivating manual for spirit!

“Spirit is the soul!”

“The soul, namely the spirit of human, hides in one’s mind. The spirit can be cultivated!”

“The stronger your spirit is, the more natural essence you can sense. The spirit can be nourished by natural essence and the essence of the sun and the moon, getting stronger and stronger.”

“The Soul-refining Manual can refine the soul. This is the opening of the Soul-refining Manual, which is said the soul would be able to fly to the highest sky and go to the lowest underground if you could refine it!”

Su Yan was shocked because it was horrible. Besides, it was difficult to refine the soul. The content in Soul-refining Manual, the best soul-refining method of Huaxia Alliance, was detailed.

“Meditating the secret of the mind, you can absorb the essence of the universe so as to strengthen your soul by the Soul-refining Manual!”

Following the instructions, Su Yan calmed down and got into an ethereal state.

At this moment, he perceived that in his mind hid a power which was different from that described in the manual!

Su Yan found that his spirit was very strong while the general spirit was so weak that it would take more than one year to make it become stronger.

But according to the book, Su Yan found that the strength of his spirit was equivalent to that of one who has practiced Soul-refining Manual for one or two years.

Su Yan smiled delightedly. He knew that the stronger his initial spirit was, the faster his speed of cultivation would be.

According to the Soul-refining Manual, he guided the spirit slowly. It was a mysterious processing to focus on the mind and turn the spirit!

But it was also a painful processing!

After a while, Su Yan felt tired with cold sweat on his forehead.

He felt as if he had been stabbed with millions of needles in every turning.

He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

In this way, after practicing a day and a night, he was exhausted.

But he had mastered the power of spirit in his mind. Sacred light shone brightly on his forehead when his spirit was turned again.

It was miraculous that Su Yan seemed to be able to telepathize with the universe. A soft light pervaded around his forehead, when his spirit started to absorb the source of energy which hidden in the universe and now quickly gathered together to his frontal bone, nourishing the spirit in his mind.

From this moment on, he was energetic and his tiredness disappeared.

“It feels good!”

He closed his eyes and enjoyed this moment. His spirit was hungry, and it was the first time for him to use the Soul-refining Manual to devour the energy. It was so fast that his whole forehead was bright and his strength of spirit grew rapidly.

At that moment when his spirit reached the peak state, Su heard a roar and found his lost memory in his spirit.

It seemed to open a door in his mind, and his spirit was almost split upon the resounding roar of a primeval dragon.

“Hold on! It’s my lost memory!”

By the Soul-refining Manual, he stabilized the screwy spirit, with his eyes turning red, and searched in the spirit madly for his lost memory!
